Professors nicknamed him "The Writing Machine" in college.
Awarded Best Actor at the 2018 Festigious International Film Festival for his performance in "Killing Adam".
At age 5, after viewing a "Barney" episode and disliking the ending, his mother playfully challenged him to write a better ending. Mistaking her sarcasm for sincerity, he did. Her genuinely impressed reaction motivated him to pursue screenwriting.
